madrid train from airport to city center

Nights before Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays have a night bus (MetroBuho) service on the same routes as the Metro lines, from rougly 01:00AM to 05:30AM. You can catch some trains as late as 2:00AM, although the official close time for the metro system is at 1:30AM. The Passes do not require this supplement-it is included in the price. When you travel to or from airport stations, there is additional supplement of €1, which can be paid at the entrance or exit.

Stamping the ticket one time allows you to use the Metro network as long and far as you like – make sure you stay inside the Metro zone, once you leave it, you’ll have to stamp your ticket again. In addition, the underground tunnels of the Metro provide relief from the sun on hot days. The Metro de Madrid (Madrid’s Subway/Underground) is one of the best and cheapest metros in Europe. Tickets can be purchased at Metro stations, news-stands, and estancos (tobacconists’).

Children under 11 receive a 50% discount. A single ticket costs €1, a ten trip ticket costs €9. Buses and subways form an integrated network and work with the same tickets. Madrid proudly sports one of the best public transportation networks in the world and the second largest metro network in Europe, second only to London’s.
